cpack 2.8.3 should be ok w.r.t. symlinks at least some bugs were fixed
between 2.8.2 and 2.8.3.

I never used install(CODE ... but besides that this should work.
did you have a look at the symlinks found in the CPack temp install dir:

_CPack_Packages/<xxx>/TGZ/<yyy>

are they local as they should be or are they pointing to some absolute path.

CPack uses DESTDIR so may be you should use:

WORKING_DIRECTORY \$ENV{DESTDIR}\${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${FLAVOR_INSTALL_ROOT}

instead of:
WORKING_DIRECTORY \${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${FLAVOR_INSTALL_ROOT}

No clue beside the DESTDIR thing.
